Dear Families,
As we move through this season, I want to ensure that all of our families are aware of the upcoming community food and resource distribution events happening across the DMV area. These events are open to the public and provide free groceries, meals, and additional resources to support families in need.
Please see the attached flyers for details, including dates, times, and locations of each event. Feel free to share this information with neighbors, friends, or anyone who may benefit.

If you have any questions or need help connecting with local support services, don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank You!
With Love, School Counselor

Dear Parents,
We are excited to announce that our annual Harmony DC Science Fair will take place on December 17, 2025. All students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade is expected to work on a science fair project, prepare a presentation board, and present their project to their peers, teachers, and judges.
All students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade received two packages yesterday. If they were absent yesterday, they will receive theirs on Monday.
The first package is Family Guide. You will see the dates, timelines, assignments, and a sample project in this guide. This guide will help you assist your child with their science fair project.
The second package is Science Fair Journal. This resource will help students complete their science fair project step by step with the deadlines. Students should write their notes, findings, resources, and etc in this journal, and use this journal to prepare their presentation board when they complete their project.
There will be three parent information sessions. In these sessions, we will go through the whole science fair process with you and answer your questions.
Please join one of these sessions to learn more about the science fair.

Can’t wait to see you all,
Our students had an amazing time at Cox Farm! 🎃🍁
They enjoyed hayrides, farm animals, slides, and fall treats while learning about farm life in a fun, hands-on way. It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, exploration, and memories with friends and teachers.
Harmony DC proudly joined together for Pink Out Day in support of breast cancer awareness. 💗
Students and staff wore pink at our school to honor survivors, remember those lost, and support everyone affected by breast cancer, reflecting the compassion and unity of our Harmony DC community.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this day meaningful. Together, we stand for hope and strength. 💕
Our students and staff showed amazing creativity, energy, and school pride all week long.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this week so special. It was a wonderful reminder of the teamwork, joy, and community that make Harmony DC such a great place to learn and grow! 💙✨
Dear Families,
In October, Harmony DC hosted Bullying Awareness Programs to help students understand the impact of bullying and promote kindness, respect, and inclusion. Through interactive lessons and activities, students learned how to recognize, prevent, and respond to bullying both in school and online.
We thank our students, staff, and families for participating and supporting these efforts to make Harmony DC a safe and welcoming community for everyone.
Dear Harmony DC Families,
We appreciate all our families who participate in our aftercare program and understand how important this service is to our community. Our team has worked hard to accommodate as many students as possible; however, due to limited staff and space, we currently have a waitlist for aftercare.
Please note the following important reminders and updates:
Pickup Time: All students must be picked up no later than 5:45 p.m.
Building Closure: The school building will close promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Late Pickup Fees:
A $10 fee per child will be charged for pickups after 6:00 p.m.
This fee will double after 6:15 p.m.
Fees will be added to your account and must be paid by the following week’s deadline.
Repeated Late Pickups:
After two late pickups, continued participation in the aftercare program will result in dismissal.
Any pickup after 6:30 p.m. will result in immediate dismissal from the program.
Please remember that our aftercare staff cannot and will not stay after 6:00 p.m. We kindly ask for your cooperation and respect for their time, as they also have family and personal obligations after work hours.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership in keeping our program running smoothly and safely for all students.
